No, I've opted out of this one. You say one thing, then you say something else, and when I point out what you say put together makes a different point than what you are saying you're trying to say, you call me silly?

Thanks. I'd rather stick a serrated knife in my eye.

Oh yes it can. Belief doesn't stand alone, it has to be belief IN something. That something can usually be verified except the supernatural or super far.

I think Wolf can help you with that. She'll introduce you to people that are on the same plane....and can't put two coherent thoughts together.
I thing I find most amusing is you think you're way above us. Thinking on a level we can't reach. When in fact you're just fucked up.

I think maybe she's just young Bruce. Conceit based on testing well, that sort of thing. She'll figure out that her questions are universal and her answers have been mined before... kind of fits into her religion of a universal mind.

Bah, she's stoned. Has a thought, gets enthralled with where she'd going to go with it, then forgets to go. Leaves all these disconnected half thoughts polluting the ether like the freon of rational thought.

Um, what exactly is "intimate contact" and how did you perform it for Satan and on whom?

Is spiritually possessed different from bodily possessed?

Wouldn't all unclean sprits be from unclean sources?

Quit yelling, Anthony. And no, Merlot is NOT the answer. Ask your doctor. There is absolutely no shame associated with being on meds. Lots of people are!

at least not with brie. Try a lighter, fruitier red with soft cheeses -- say, a Beaujolais.

If you insist upon merlot, try pairing it with Fontina. You need a slightly stronger cheese that can stand up to the smoky, spicy nature of merlot. Even cheddar would be a good pairing.

I myself like the cheese that you spread on crackers with that little red stick. It goes good with every wine, as well as various soft drinks, such as Tab.

2000 was a good year for California whites. Try Beringer Nightingale 2000, Napa Valley ($40, 375 ml) with the bacon-flavored pasturized process cheese food. Throw the crackers out, you won't need them.



k I have to work today. no more cellar posting.
